The steel rebar inside reinforced concrete structures is susceptible to corrosion when the chloride content at the surface of the steel exceeding the critical chloride concentration. Stainless steel reinforcements have proved to be the most reliable methods to assure the durability of reinforced concrete structures in marine environment for the compact passive films forming on its surfaces and higher critical chloride concentration. In the present work, the compactness of passive film on 2205 stainless steel in simulated concrete pore solution (SPS) is compared with carbon steel (Q235). the critical chloride concentration of Q235 and 2205 stainless steel reinforcement are discussed. Results indicate the slope(k) of double-log plot of current time for 2205 stainless steel is higher than Q235 , thekvalue is related with the compactness of passive film, the critical chloride concentration of 2205 stainless steel is much higher than Q235 steel in SPS.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete is one of the main causes of degradation of reinforced concrete structures. Degradation occurs in reinforced concrete structures from corrosion caused by the Chloride ingress into concrete. That degradation has a severe impact on the structure in terms of maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Therefore, early detection of reinforcement corrosion is important for efficient maintenance, repair and planning. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the corrosion of reinforcement by non-destructive measurements have been used a lot. In particular CM-II (corrosion meter) is used to measure the polarization resistance, but has some disadvantages. Embedded mini-sensor has been developed in order to overcome these disadvantages. In this study, measurement of corrosion by using the mini-sensor is compared with the measured results by CM-II to verify the validity of the newly developed mini senor. Results show that there are agreement in trends of the parameters measured and as such the developed mini sensor has a promising start to be used.

Corrosion reinforcement marine hydraulic structures due to chloride aggression and carbonization of concrete leads to a sharp decrease in the safety of the structure. The steel reinforcement will be subjected to a so-called depassivation process, once the chloride concentration on surface exceeds a certain threshold concentration, or the pH value in the protective layer of concrete decreases to a threshold value due to carbonation. Electrochemical reactions begin to occur with the formation of corrosion products with the penetration of oxygen on the steel reinforcement surface. This leads to cracking of the protective layer of concrete. It should also be taken into account that, due to corrosion mechanisms, the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement also decreases. The article suggests a method for predicting the complex degradation of reinforced concrete structures, taking into account various mechanisms of corrosion wear, which will allow developing effective ways to improve the durability and maintainability of structures operated in the marine environment.

Two types of steel reinforcement depassivation process: carbonation of concrete and chloride penetration are considered in the article. The comparison between the corrosion due to carbonation of concrete and the chloride-induced corrosion was carried out. It was found out, that chlorides induced corrosion is potentially more dangerous than that resulting from carbonation. Method of durable tests of reinforced concrete structures under the action of the gravitational load and the corrosive chloride environment is described in the article. The results of experimental research on reinforced concrete structures with corrosive damages to steel reinforcement are given in the article. The properties of corrosion cracking in the case of the pitting corrosion were determined. The character of corrosive damage distribution along the reinforcement bars and its effect on the strength of reinforced concrete beams were determined.
